Wow Long time no see!

Hey everyone,

Merry Christmas and Happy new year 2011! Haha 1 month late! Sorry for this long time no see on the blog. I have been soooo busy these 2 last months in Japan and Switzerland. I came back in Switzerland for the Christmas/New Year period and enjoyed wonderful moments with my family and friends in Villars! This was so great with all that snow that fell on 24th December which also made my connection cancelled but I could make it by train ;)

In January I made lots of Trips on weekend, starting with Nagoya to visit Daisuke with Akira and party in the Gaijin-crowded streets of Nagoya! We had nice moments as we also visited a very old castle, 犬山城 Inuyama Castle (Means: Dog Mountain Castle) and is said to be the oldest castle of Japan.

Then on the second weekend I went back to Kanazawa to visit my homestay family that I was missing. On saturday I had the chance to go for a Ski ride with the father in the Ishikawa mountains (45 minutes from Kanazawa). The father is a Pro! I couldn't follow him everywhere, actually I was more doing the snowball next to him riding in the powder snow! That was funny and pretty cold...

On the third weekend I went to Tokyo to make a presentation about this almost done :( 1 year in Japan program to the Japanese Professor who organized this internship. We had to make a 5 minutes presentation about our job and a small discussion about the homestay experience and as my job is confidential I couldn't really talk about my actual job and made a "fake" presentation about a one week job I did in JTEKT. At the end of the presentation we had a small party with students from the Professor's laboratory. We ate Okonomiyaki (which is a Osaka meal :D) and had few discussions with the shy Japanese students ;)

And as we were in Tokyo, we had to party in the Tokyo clubs of Shibuya and Roppongi! I met many Gaijins (Foreigners) and enjoyed different clubs mainly in Roppongi where we joined the Birthday of a friend's friend's friend so we had cheaper prices :D

Finally last weekend was 100% Osaka! Party with Daisuke, Akira and Claudio!

To complete these crazy weekends, I am actually looking for a job in Japan so it takes me lot of time. I may be working in JTEKT in the future but I am looking for other opportunities such as in the biggest Swiss company ;) I hope I can find a job that is quite interesting and with a good location (Osaka, Kyoto or Kobe!) As soon as I have more informations, I'll post them ;)

Last but not least: THE PICTURES! I am currently working on them as I have so many to upload!
I hope I can upload a selection on flickr today!

またね！See you
